Community College? Apprenticeship? Work? Vocational and education planning is important and the subjects you select will have long range implications. Reading this booklet and discussions with staff are an important steps in making such plans. This booklet contains information about Sir Robert Borden's programme of studies. Sir Robert Borden High School is organized according to regulations and operates within guidelines established by the Ministry of Education of the Province of Ontario. The courses of this school have been developed according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education . Courses of study are available on request for perusal at the school. Parents, or students who have reached the age of majority, in consultation with their parents, must assume the ultimate responsibility and decision concerning the choice of programme and subjects for the student. 3 C. DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS An Ontario Secondary School Diploma (O.S.S.D.) will be granted on the recommendation of the Principal to a student who has satisfactorily completed a minimum of 30 credits consisting of 16 complusory credits and 14 electives. A credit is granted in recognition of the successful completion of a course that has been scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours. At Sir Robert Borden, every course offered has a value of 1 credit. The compulsory credits are: 5 credits in English (at least 2 in the Senior Division) -i.e. Gr. 11, 12 or O.A.C. (Ontario Academic Credit) 1 credit in French 2 credits in Mathematics 2 credits in Science I credit in Canadian Geography I credit in Canadian History 1 credit in a Social Science (Senior Division) I credit in the Arts I credit in Physical & Health Education 1 credit in Business studies or Technological studies NOTES: 1. In planning a programme of studies, students should consider grade 9 and 10 as a unit. The following programme is recommended: Grade 9 Grade 10 English English Mathematics Mathematics Science Science Geography History French Elective Phys. Ed. Elective Arts compulsory (or any elective) Arts complusory (or any elective) Bus.Ed./Tech. compulsory (or any elective) Bus.Ed./Tech. compulsory (or any elective) 2. Courses which satisfy the compulsory Arts credit are: ADA 2A, AMA IA, AMI IA, AVD 2G, AVI IG, AVI IA Courses which satisfy the compulsory Business Education/ Technical credit are BAI 3G BKT 4G TIM IA2 TEL 3A BAP 3A BOS 4G TIM IAl TEL 4A BIB IG DIC 2G TGR 2A TCX 4A BKT IG DIC 2A TGR 2G TDR2A TEY 2A TMS 2G TCW 2G Courses which satisfy the compulsory Senior Social Science credit are: BLW 3G GPH 3AF HXE 4G BLW 3A GUR 4A HXE 5A BLW 3AF GUR 4AF NFB 3G GCR 5A GWI 5A NMT 4G GHU 4G HWC 3A HSC 3G GPH 3G HCN OA HSC 3A GPH 3A HUS 4A HSC 3AF HUS 4AF NFO OA 3. Areas of Concentrations Students who take at least 8 business courses will have a Business concentration recorded on their student transcript. Students who take at least 8 technical courses will have a Technical concentration recorded on their student transcript. 4. Course Load We encourage students not to specialize too early and to take the broadest programme. Students who have accumulated at least 24 credits may take seven subjects. In the last year students must take a sufficient number of credits to complete the 6 O.A.C.'s necessary for university entrance. 5. Planning for University Entrance to an Ontario University will require a student to have an O.S.S.D. as well as 6 O.A.C.'s. O.A.C.'s may be counted as part of the 30 O.S.S.D. credits or may be in addition to the O.S.S.D. credits. It is not anticipated that many students will satisfy both requirements in four years of high school. To do so could result in a very difficult third and fourth year and would require a student to limit the number of electives. The Council of Ontario Universities has stated that there will be no "bonus points" for quickness of completion of the O.S.S.D. Completion in 4 years will not be rewarded. Selecting an appropriate O.A.C. programme is a most important matter. Each student planning to enter university should carefully study university entrance requirements. Career literature, university calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information sessions, and counselling are services regularly provided to students by the Guidance Department to help them plan for programmes at universities. Parents and students are encouraged to contact counsellors to receive assistance in preparing for university and community college. 6. Preparing for Community College and/or Apprenticeship Some three year programmes at community colleges such as Algonquin specify certain advanced level subjects as prerequisites. However, the basic requirement for entry to a community college is the O.S.S.D. Many students who have taken subjects at the general level (I G, 2G, 3G, 4G) enter and succeed in programmes at a community college. Sir Robert Borden offers a good variety of technological studies and business education subjects. Students interested in technolgical studies should usually supplement such studies with mathematics, science, and the appropriate technological studies subjects. The same would apply to students interested in apprenticeship programmes. Students interested in a business career might be interested in taking the appropriate courses offered by the business education department. Career literature, community college calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information sessions, and counselling are services regularly provided to students by the Guidance Department to help them plan for programmes at community colleges. D. COURSE CODES All secondary schools in the province of Ontario now use a set of common course codes i) The first three characters indicate the subject: a) The first character is an alpha that indicates the subject or subject group. It relates to the curriculum guideline. b) The second character is an alpha that indicates the course group or subject/ course group. The curriculum guideline determines this grouping. c) The third character is an alpha that indicates the specific course. It relates to the curriculum guideline. BAP - Accounting MAT - Mathematics ii) The fourth character is a numeric that indicates the grade at which the course is offered. An OAC is represented by "0" (zero). MAT IA - Grade 9 mathematics MAT 2A - Grade 10 mathematics ENG OA - O.A.C. level English. iii) The fifth character is an alpha that indicates the level of difficulty of the course. MAT l B -Basic MAT 1 G - General MAT 1 A - Advanced BASIC: These courses are designed to focus on the development of personal skills, social understanding, self-confidence and preparation for the world of work. These courses serve the needs of students who may not participate in post- secondary education and provide a good preparation for direct entry into employment. GENERAL: General level courses should be considered as appropriate preparation for employment, careers, or futher education in certain programmes in the colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and other non -degree -granting post -secondary educational institutions. It might be appropriate for university bound students to take some courses at the general level to balance their programme. Care, however, should be exercised in making certain that university entrance requirements are met. ADVANCED: These courses focus on the development of academic skills and prepare students for entry to University or to certain programmes in the colleges of Applied Arts and Techology. They are more content oriented than geveral level courses. Courses should be taken at the Advanced level in those subjects which the student plans to take in the Grade 13 or O.A.C. year. iv) If `F' appears as the sixth character, the course is taught in the French language: GCA IAF v) If `E' appears as the sixth character, the course is an enriched advanced level course: MAT IAE E. GUIDANCE SERVICES The Guidance programme plays a vital role in the school curriculum at Sir Robert Borden High School. The programme has been planned and developed from the Guidance guidelines and an assessment of the student, school, parent and community needs. The programme provides the students with opportunities to: -develop an understanding of themselves and their achievement. -assist them in clarifying their educational options and career alternatives. The following activities are planned and implemented by the Guidance Department to assist in carrying out the above objectives: -keeping abreast of all the community services offered to the secondary school students, and having personal contact with these agencies in the community. -providing an information service to grade twelve and thirteen students who are prospective community college and university applicants. -providing feeder school students (Grade 8) and parents with information about courses and planning a successful academic career. -providing standardized testing to feeder school students in order to provide students, teachers and parents a better understanding of the student's abilities, aptitudes and interests. -ensuring that every student has his/her programme of study evaluated. -facilitating the academic, personal and social adjustment of new students ....... (i.e. students coming to Sir Robert Borden High School from schools other than our regular grade eight feeder schools). F. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES Resource Unit offers individual assistance for students who are identified as exceptional. Students are assigned to the Resource Unit after consultation with the Resource Unit teacher, the parent and the principal. This is a non-credit programme. The Co-operative Education programme for Career planning is a joint effort between the school and the community to provide students with learning experiences outside the classroom. It is an attempt to assist students in making decisions about post secondary programs and in becoming more familiar with the realities of the labour market. The Co-operative Education programme is open to senior students. This programme will provide students with the opportunity to: (a) Receive realistic work experience. (b) Earn three diploma credits. (c) Assess their suitability for employment in business, industry or government. (d) Experience training which will help to adjust to permanent employment. (e) Experience a broad range of skills, attitudes and interpersonal relations. (f) Receive counselling which will contribute to their growth and development. (g) Investigate specific careers. The student will take four courses in school either morning or afternoon, which will allow the student to spend at least 2 1/ 2 hours at their training station daily. At least two of their in -school courses will be tied to their out of school training. Co-operative Education may appeal to students in three areas. (a) Academic Student - Academic students may explore career possibilities in the area in which they are considering advanced studies eg. Sciences, Mathematics, History French, Geography, English etc., to find out if they really like it, before spending years on Post Secondary Education. (b) Skill Programme - Students who have or are developing in school Business or Technical skills such as Office Procedures, Accounting and Computer Studies or Graphic Arts, Machine Shop and Woodworking, further develop their skills and gain valuable experience when they receive on the job training. (c) Community Involvement Programme - Students who are studying society and the family in courses such as Man in Society, Family and Child or Physical Education can contribute to society and their own understanding of it and where they fit in by working in social agencies, elementary schools, nursery schools and hospitals. This can also help them to choose a career. Students interested in Co-operative Education should list it on their option sheet. They will be interviewed and will complete an application form before being considered. Because of resource constraints etc. a limit might have to be placed on the number of students selected for this programme. More information can be obtained by making an appointment with Mrs. Scott in the Co-operative Education office, any afternoon. 3. Graphic Communications Package Programmes - Sir Robert Borden has unique and extensive Graphic Communications courses. The school has developed two packages of studies for students who, after graduation, wish to pursue future studies or enter the world of work in the Graphic communications area. Students taking these packages could, upon graduation, seek employment in various areas relating to graphic communications such as printing, typesetting, presswork and photography. Graduating students could also apply to continue their studies at various community colleges in fields such as Graphic Arts, Graphic Communications and Graphic Design. Each package is designed so that it can be taken by students in either the general or advanced level and upon graduation the students will receive his/her Ontario Secondary School Diploma. One package has built into it a Co -Operative education component which allows the eligible student the opportunity to work part time in year IV in a graphic communications area and receive course credit for this. The other package allows the student the freedom to select more electives throughout school. Each package is described in ;_,e following charts.

Besides teaching the function of business and the skills required for success, we provide the student with saleable knowledge and skills. For the student planning a post -secondary education, skills such as typewriting and shorthand will provide assistance in the form of easing the student's studies and providing a source of income to help finance such studies. The theory courses can be used to provide an easier entry into other occupations for both part-time and full-time employment (eg. accounting, data processing, marketing, law, etc.). For the students who wish to round out their academic education with valuable skills and knowledge, we offer a useful programme. The Ministry of Education provides that a student who has gained a minimum of eight credits in business studies shall receive special recognition on his or her Ontario Student Transcript. We suggest the student with a keen interest in business education consider one of the following programmes of correlated subjects. SECRETARIAL PROGRAMME A student who undertakes a secretarial programme can look forward to growing employment either full or part-time. A recommended programme would be as follows: Grade 9 Typing I (BKT 1G) and Introduction to Business (BIB..1G) Grade 10 Typing II (BKT 2G) and (DIC 2G or DIC 2A) Introductory Computer Studies Grade 11 Business Communications I (BSP 3G), Shorthand (BSH 3G) and one of Data Processing (BPC 3G or BPT 3A), Accounting (BAI 3G or BAP 3A), Law (BLW 3G or BLW 4G), Marketing (BMK 3G), or Management Studies (BOS 4G).

BAI 3G ACCOUNTING -INTRODUCTORY (ACC—INTRO) Credit: 1 Unit Recommended Prerequisite: None Introductory Accounting is designed to meet the needs of students seeking an introduction to fundamental accounting theory for personal use and for business application. Students will learn basic accounting procedures and the preparation of financial statements for a small business. In addition to this basic material, the principles of internal control and special accounting transactions will be studied. Case studies will be assigned to permit students to apply the theoretical knowledge which they have gained. (This course was formerly designated BAI 2G and cannot be taken by a student who has a credit in BAI 2G). 16 BAP 3A ACCOUNTING -PRINCIPLES (ACC—PRINC) Credit: 1 Unit Recommended Prerequisite: None This course is designed to meet the needs of students seeking an introductory course in accounting theory. Basic concepts and theories of accounting are stressed with accounting applications used to reinforce an understanding of theoretical principles. This course concentrates on accounting related to business activities and provides an opportunity for students to gain an understanding of business in general. Students will find this course provides both useful personal skills and a start towards university business studies.This course is a recommended prerequisite for the Ontario Academic Credit in Accounting. (This course was formerly designated BAP 2A and cannot be taken by a student who has a credit in BAP 2A). BAP 4A ACCOUNTING -PRINCIPLES (ACC—PRINC) Credit: 1 Unit Recommended Prerequisite: BAP 2A This course expands the theoretical principles presented in Accounting Principles I.
